Walking into Francoise's Christmas party,

I was introduced to three people

One of them,

An older fellow named Norm Fein,

Looked familiar,

But I couldn't be sure

I said as much and he agreed

But at first we couldn't pin it down

He asked if I'd been to any Sierra Club

Or other specific local singles events

And I said I hadn't

Then I asked him if

He he'd lived back East

He said he had

And we finally narrowed it down

To the astonishing fact that

He and I had both worked for AGS in New Jersey

I had met him in Piscataway

On my first assignment

But he left right away,

Transferring to Holmdel

Several months later

I transferred to Holmdel

Apparently to take his place on a project

When he retired

This was in 1981-82

And it is now December, 1995
